"And that, ...is the story of our country, one invasion after another...Macedonians. Saddanians. Arabs. Mongols. Now the Soviets. But we're like those walls up there. Battered, and nothing pretty to look at, but still standing."

I pray that He is as merciful, benevolent, and gracious as His book says He is."

Family


"Exploitation to finance a beach house in Hawaii was one thing. Doing it to feed your kids was another."
Ethics


"Public justice is the greatest kind of show, my brother. Drama. Suspense. And best of all education en masse."
Justice
